Wow, It's been such a long time since I've last posted. So much stuff has happened in the past couple months and I just haven't had as much time to blog as I'd like.
I've been really trying to focus my time on my art and growing as an artist. I plan on creating a more professional blog soon that I'd like to religiously post in.
Speaking of art, about a month or so ago a local stationary shop held a holiday card contest which I won! I drew a landmark in the town I live in of a restaurant called The Golden Lamb. Many presidents have visited it and it's also Ohio's oldest Inn. I had to obtain the rights from the Golden Lamb to use their sign in my drawing, and upon them seeing it they decided to place an order for 250 of my cards! This is the first contest I've entered and I would have never imagined that all of this goodness could come out of it. It makes me really proud.
Here is the art:
Aside from that, I'm working on illustrating a children's book in which my Fiance wrote. It's such an adorable story and I can't wait to share.
A couple days ago I also started on a new just-for-fun piece which is a portrait of my two cats, Jackson and Shriek. I've been having so much fun with it and I plan on creating many more animal portraits. Here's my progress so far:
This portrait suits their personalities so well, it makes me smile every time I look at it.
I'll explain the reasoning behind the portrait more in-depth after I'm finished with it.
I'm not sure if I even have an readers anymore (eek) but for anyone who is reading this, I hope all is well with you, and if you live along the east coast I hope you're staying safe ♥
xo- Kayla :)
P.S- If you're interested, I'm still open for commissions and I have a new email address for my art which is
